Sadly, I think that could apply to almost any newspaper, depending on how you read it and your stance before you read it. ;-( That is regrettably true. Many local papers are rather better, but the only nationals that are relatively free from inciting hatred are the Independent, the Guardian and possibly the Scotsman. All others have regular, directed campaigns where they incite hatred against one or more vulnerable groups. The Independent (which we take) has some such articles, but has little coherent policy and rarely mounts campaigns. I can't stand the Guardian, on other grounds. One could also include the Morning Star, on the grounds that the targets of its hate campaigns are not vulnerable :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

"Janet Tweedy" The quiz is set by the RHS and is fairly difficult, I am not sure about a couple of my answers and another two I don't know. One question was: The plant hunter, David Douglas, worked for the Horticultural Society, (the forerunner of the RHS), in the 19th century and in 1834 lost his life while plant hunting in the Sandwich Islands when he was a) Eaten by a shark b) Bitten by a snake c) Gored by a bull d) Attacked by killer bees Google gives loads of hits.............: In July 1833 he was exploring the Island when he either fell (or there are theories he was pushed) into a large pit that had been dug to trap wild bulls. His body was found apparently trampled by an animal. the other that I can't do was a picture of some fir cones and you had to guess: These cones are typically borne by: a) Korean fir b) Douglas fir c) Serbian spruce d) Corsican pine Pity URG is does not support jpegs :~)) Try Google image search. Good luck Jenny |

We take The Times and the Daily Mail and read both with the salt cellar close at hand! I find the Guardian too smug and self-righteous, haven't read the Scotsman, though have heard good things of it. I have never been able to take the Independent seriously since its inception when it declared that its ambition was never to have a story about any member of the royal family on its front page - if that story is to be believed in itself! We also take the Western Morning News and it's very conservative to suit the area it covers, I suppose. But I think it does give fair play to all in terms of what it writes about, the letters page etc. One could also include the Morning Star, on the grounds that the targets of its hate campaigns are not vulnerable :-) Or maybe the Sunday Sport? CAN double deckers on Mars be vulnerable? ;-0 -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |
